What Is H.E.L.P. Apheresis Therapy?

Suffering from Long Covid, Post-Covid, Post-Vac Syndrome or a chronic illness? Therapeutic Apheresis can help. H.E.L.P. Apheresis (Heparin-induced Extracorporeal LDL Precipitation) is a specialised form of plasma exchange (plasmapheresis).

Also known as extracorporeal blood cleansing, or blood cleansing that takes place outside the body, this blood plasma treatment removes harmful cells, chemicals and disease-forming proteins from your blood.

Examples include LDL or “bad” cholesterol, lipoproteins, fibrinogen, triglycerides and inflammatory substances such as cytokines. Highly effective as a Long Covid cure and many others, LDL Apheresis is your chance to enjoy restored health and wellness once again.

How Does the H.E.L.P. Apheresis Treatment Work?

Our minimally invasive procedure involves just four simple steps. Here’s our quick and easy step-by-step guide of what to expect:

  1. Our expert team will set you up comfortably and gently draw blood from your vein.
  2. Plasma is then separated and treated with heparin to bind pathogens and assist with heparin adsorption.
  3. Pathogens are removed and plasma pH is restored.
  4. The plasma exchange takes place and purified plasma is returned to your body.

What to Expect During Your Therapeutic Apheresis Treatment

Here’s what you can expect from our professionals, from start to finish:

  • Initial free consultation to assess suitability

Patient Testimonials and Real Stories

エドワード・ニコル(スコットランド)、ライム、バベシア、ロングコビド

Eddie was suffering from Lyme disease and Babesia but was able to’ live a relatively normal life with some restrictions’ but then Long Covid brought on Fatigue, Post Excertional Malaise, Brainfog, MCAS, Muscle Pain, Noise Sensitivity and other symptoms.

After several weeks, Eddie left our island without any results or benefit of the treatments (Combination Therapy with H.E.L.P. Apheresis) and both the team and him were devastated. But then shortly after he arrived home, day by day, he started to get better in small incremental steps until 3 months later he now is almost symptom free! Sometimes recovery takes time, patience and trust as he says. And Eddie is not the only patient with a recovery timeline like that – very often it takes weeks and months so the gradual improvements add up to a bigger result and benefit.

アーサー・フェレンシ(英国、ロング・コビド

MIT Student Arthur Ferencei’s hopes and expectations were exceeded by our Long COVID treatments. Arthur comes from a family of doctors, his father is a nephrologist. His symptoms (MCAS, fatigue, PEM, dizziness, insomnia, cognitive dysfunction, brainfog and others) were unbearable for 2 years – now 4 months after combination therapy he is at 85% and still improving.

アフェレシスセンターに滞在する前、彼は勉強ができなくなり、アイデンティティの危機を経験していた。

The great news – he is back to being a MIT student – Grade A again!

クリスティナ・コンチェク(ハンガリー)、ポスト・バック・アンド・ロング・コビッド

急性心筋外傷はなかったが、いくつかの検査の結果、心筋症と診断された。一部回復したかに見えたが、体位性頻脈症候群、疲労、軽い消化器症状が現れた。

その後、コビドに2回感染した後、彼女はひどい疲労とひどい体位性頻脈症候群に悪化し、ヒスタミンの問題が始まり、しびれと頭痛が始まった。

2023年10月、彼女は1日ごとに寝たきりになり、非常にひどい疲労感、不眠症、消化管痛、胃痛、神経障害のような症状、炎症感を伴うようになった。医師は、精神的なものだと言った。

When she arrived the last week of May at the Apheresis Center, she had 35 (!) severe symptoms. Today, beginning of July there are almost no symptoms left, with moderate MCAS being the main symptom to work on. During the video she surprised Markus – she is moving to Cyprus in October – being sunlight-tolerant again after treatment will definitely help there!


マルコ・ジバノビッチ(セルビア)、ロングコビド

 ラルナカにある私たちのクリニックでのキプロスでの経験、トラベル・サポートのディアーナが交通手段や宿泊先についてどれだけ助けてくれたか、そして私たちの島で治療を受けることの利点についてマルコが語っています。H.E.L.P. アフェレーシス治療に全身ハイパーサーミアと栄養補助食品(セノリチカと抗ウイルス剤)のプロトコルを加えることで、私たちは彼の治療コースのコストと期間(わずか10日間!)の短縮を目指した。この実験はうまくいくだろうか?数ヵ月後にマルコに話を聞けば、将来のケーススタディの草案ができるかもしれない。私たちはいくつかの最初の結果を得たが、意味のある結論を出すにはまだ早すぎる。

ドナ・ピクトン(オーストラリア)、ロング・コビッド

Fatigue, Post Excertional Malaise, Brainfog, Tinnitus, MCAS, Anxiety, Persisting EBV to just name a few of the symptoms that brought her to our clinic. On 3rd of November 2023 Donna started her therapy course at our Apheresis Center in Larnaca, Cyprus, on 28th December 2023 she said: ‘I am fully cured, no longer have Long Covid and am back to 100%’. What we called ‘unicorns’ back in 2021 and 2022, we see now more and more often –  Combination Therapy with H.E.L.P. Apheresis is fully curative for a substantial group/subset of Long Covid and Post Vac sufferers. 


Anna M., Germany, Long Covid

 Anna came to our clinic in August 2023. She was not sure if she would be a patient who would respond to treatment as she had had post-viral MECFS for 11 years and no treatment had worked before. Now, half a year later, she is living a completely different life – she can sit as long as she likes, stand as long as she likes, do as much housework as she likes, no more stairs that cause her to collapse for days.

そして、彼女の足の新たな強さと、もはや青くないという事実には、今でも毎日驚かされる。

Also read what our medical experts have to say:

“H.E.L.P. Apheresis is the most powerful treatment of the [Long Covid or Post-Vac Syndrome] condition so far, from everything we have… [And] adding combination therapy, we are seeing better results and faster improvements.” — Dr Irina Pavlik Marangos“[The H.E.L.P. Apheresis] machine exists for almost 40 years. We traditionally used them to treat high-risk patients with coronary heart disease who have suffered several myocardial infarctions or being heart transplanted. [The machines] remove excess damaging stuff from the blood and they do it in a harmonised manner so it does no harm to the patients.”  — Dr Beate Jaeger

How Safe Is H.E.L.P. Apheresis?

Have questions about Apheresis safety records or you’re concerned about possible side effects? Rest assured that our professional team takes patient safety very seriously and is something we always prioritise.

In fact, with more than 500,000 treatments that are highly documented over a period of several decades, you’re in safe and highly capable hands.

When it comes to potential side effects, we’re transparent and have noted some patients experiencing mild symptoms such as minor bruising, possible fatigue, low blood pressure or temporary electrolyte imbalances.

However, severe complications are extremely rare due to the closed-loop Apheresis cleansing and filtration system and we are confident that you’ll feel great in just a few sessions.

Costs and Financial Support

The treatment cost for our H.E.L.P. Apheresis therapy is €1,790 per session.

  • According to our protocol and research, the best results are achieved when patients undergo a minimum of 5 to 6 sessions.
  • We limit the maximum number of sessions to 2 per week to allow the patient’s system time to recover between treatments.
  • Each patient’s protocol is individualized and drafted after a consultation. That’s when we determine the exact number of sessions and the pace that suits their condition.

Some of our patients choose to have their health insurance provider reimburse them for the costs. Naturally, this will depend on which country you are from and which service provider you use. However, with our team at your disposal, you’ll receive comprehensive assistance with documentation and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please email us at info@apheresiscenter.eu if you cannot find an answer to your question

What exactly is removed from my blood during therapeutic Apheresis?

Therapeutic Apheresis removes harmful components from your plasma such as fibrinogen, LDL cholesterol, inflammatory cytokines, immune complexes, microclots and, in some cases, autoantibodies. This helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation and lower immune dysregulation.

How quickly can I see improvements after therapeutic Apheresis treatment?

Some patients report noticeable improvements after just one to two sessions, especially in symptoms like brain fog, breathlessness, circulation and fatigue. For others, it may take four to six sessions to observe significant and sustained benefits.

What makes H.E.L.P. Apheresis different from standard plasma exchange (plasmapheresis)?

H.E.L.P. Apheresis specifically targets inflammatory and pro-thrombotic substances without removing all plasma proteins or relying on donor replacement fluids. It filters blood with heparin-induced precipitation, making it more precise, less taxing and more effective for conditions like Long Covid and autoimmune inflammation. Read more on our blog about how different Apheresis types compare.

Can I have Apheresis if I have high or low blood pressure?

Yes, patients with blood pressure issues can typically receive treatment, but it is closely monitored. Our medical team adjusts protocols, hydration and infusion rates accordingly to ensure stability before, during and after the session.

Do you treat children with Long COVID or chronic illness?

We treat adults and occasionally adolescents based on thorough case assessment. There is a minimum weight of 30kg+, but younger patients are reviewed on a case-by-case basis with parental consent and paediatrician collaboration.

How many sessions will I likely need?

Most patients undergo a core protocol of five to eight sessions, typically at two per week. Your exact plan is tailored to your diagnostic profile and response to the treatment.

How long does one treatment session last?

The duration of a treatment session depends on the therapy. For example, H.E.L.P. Apheresis can last from 2.5 to 3 hours, Inuspheresis or Immunoadsorption can last from 3 to 4 hours and IV Therapy can proceed for 45 minutes up to 1.5 hours. Factors that affect the duration include symptom severity, treatment type and whether combination protocols are used.

Is the treatment painful or uncomfortable?

The treatment is minimally invasive. It involves an IV cannula (or catheter in some cases), and patients are monitored throughout. Some experience slight chills or tiredness afterward, but serious discomfort is rare.

Can therapeutic Apheresis be combined with other therapies safely?

Yes. It’s part of our Combination Therapy Protocol, which often includes IV nutrients, hyperthermia, immunoabsorption, nutraceuticals and medication support. Treatments are safely sequenced and adapted to your lab results.

Are there risks or potential complications with therapeutic Apheresis?

As with any blood filtration therapy, there are minor risks such as bruising, fatigue, low blood pressure or temporary electrolyte imbalances. Severe complications are extremely rare due to the closed-loop and heparin-based system of H.E.L.P. Apheresis.

Will my insurance cover the cost of therapeutic Apheresis treatments?

It depends on your country and provider. We assist patients with detailed documentation to support insurance reimbursement requests.

What should I expect during recovery and aftercare?

Recovery usually involves gentle pacing, hydration, light nutrition and supportive coaching. Our health coaching and nutrition team provides post-session strategies to stabilise and sustain your improvements.
